    The embarrassment and shame of recent performances, Watford and the second 45 in both Munich and Chelsea will be distant memories.

    The poor *******s managing the club PR will have a difficult time as they deal with supporter unrest amid season ticket price increases but they will style it out with their usual level of incompetence and disregard.

    Meanwhile two of Klopp/Pochetinno/Guardiola/Mourinho will not have achieved CL football, unless United win the Europa League, and we will start again next August.
    I think he'll stay now. I was a bit upset after Wednesdays display. it will soon be forgotten.

    Honestly. The day we ran out for the second half wearing shirts that showed the creases from where they'd been folded, I thought I was going to pass out.
    What does a kit man even do these days? I assume they just have new kit every game, so it's not like the old days when he had to get boots cleaned and jockstraps laundered, is it? He basically just puts out stuff that's been delivered by the various suppliers

    I suspect he's mainly there to be another 'proper football man' around the place. He's a respected coach in his own right, I believe. It's just that someone has to be responsible for having kit available.

    He coaches the chicks team mate.

    That is not respected by anybody and I suspect the shorts are somehow linked to this other job.

    I thought the Watford and Chelsea games were more serious, but the Bayern match would have hit Him harder.

    Oddly enough.

    They are like centre forwards - obsolete in the modern game but people have fond memories of them so you keep one around. Some people even swear by them

    Right. But he must have been qualified to be a professional coach, surely?

    My point is, he knows a thing or two about the game and clearly isn't just there to take the shirts out of their packets.
